A Great Future for CalIfornia.

TEMpLEroN, March 27th.-The purchase
of property here by w. V. Huntington last
week has been followed by a prospect of a
similar action by other leading railroad
men. Huntington and two other leading
railroad officials were here to-day negotiat-
ing similar purchases. Kingston, a lead
ing Illinois capitalist, is examining prop
erty with a view to investment. He pre-
diets that the changes in Chicago in the
last half century will be surpassed in Cali
fornia in less than the next quarter Of a
century. The tide of settlers increases
every day, and hotel extensions cannot be
made fast enough to keep up with the in
creased demand.
Work on the Salinas bridge and the new
roads converging in Templeton is being
pushed with energy.

Good Progress Made BY the Bulls in

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE. The bull movement started in
stocks yesterday made further progress to-
day. The pacific aspect Of political affairs in
Europe and the tirmness of all foreign eX-
changes exercised decidedly reassuring in
tluence, and when it was discovered that
London was again buyer of American Sc
curities the disposition to buy stocks became
more than ever pronounced. The shorts in
Union Pacific were treated to surprise in
an advance of about per cent. The whole
list developed more or less strength. Gould
stocks were especially buoyant. while
Grangers were rather heavy in comparison
with the rest of the list, being un-
fayorably influenced by the passage OF
the bill in the Minnesota legislature
providing that all freight rates shall
be reduced 20 per cent after April ]. A
bullish factor was decline of = per cent in

MAYOR HEwlTT's LETTER.
He Makes the Labur-Denouncing
Document Public.


Document Public.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The suppression of
Mayor Hewitts letter at the din
ner of the Young Mems democratic
club in Brooklyn on Tuesday night
is creating much stir among men,
bers of the club, and great deal of talk is
going on about it in every quarter. 1t seemed
to have been conveniently lost, but Hewitt
made it public last night from the
stenographer's notes. lie says that the
letter was not intended as an attack on any
one, but denounced the tyranny which the
leaders of the sO-called labor movement have
imposed Oh workingmen subject to their con-
troll aud insisted that politically memb of
the labor organization were In bondage to
their leaders. In giving the letter out
Hewitt said he was sure that the entire re-
sponsibility for the suppression of the dOcu-
ment, which the committee had ordered read
and given to the press, lay with President
Lee, of the club. The letter says the labor
question is a new force. in politics. and 1t
must be confronted by the demo-
cratic party or else the A., latter

inhabitants, successive shocks .razed to the
ground nearly every house, and beneath the
ruins quite opethird of the population lie.
There are no prospects of rescuing any
alive. At 0neglia private houses and
public buildings were brCu ght to- the
gfound. The pepitentiary was almost
destroyed and it is considered marvellous
that the inmates should have escaped with
their lives. The panic-stricken prlsoneA
were all got out and spent the night in the
courtyards Of the jail, under the supervision
of strong guard. Since then they have
been placed on board ship for conveyance
to tue prison at Genoa.
TWO THOUSAND VICTIMS.
The latest dispatch from Rome says that it
is feared that the victims alon the northern
coast will number no fewer than 2000 Along
the whole Riviera, from Albissola to Nice, a
stretch of coast 100 miles in length,
every town suffered considerably with
the single exception of Bordighiera,
which escaped in marvellous
manner 1t also says the distress throughout
the Italian Riviera is terrible. Those inhab-
itants who remain are without means Of
gaining their livelihood. Business for the
moment is at standstill. The government
is doing its best for the poor people. Private
benevolence is also being largely exercised.
Urgent orders telegraphed to Genoa are being
carried out with the cooperation OF the civil
| and military. Already three trains have been
dispatches to the district, carrying food and
| medical attendance. Each train takes besides
| a company of soldiers to assist in the distri-
| button of relief and to restore confidence and
order. Every day for some time there will
| doubtless come in news from other places OF
the suffering along the line of devastation.
| The wires are still down. The great question
every where seems to be how long this
fear of new shocks will continue Eminent
scientific authority here says this morning,
| in answer to the above que stion, that there
is no power of doing SO. In New Zealand,
in 1S4S the shocks continued for five weeks
and there were nearly 1000 per day. Lisbon
| was destroyed i'm five minutes by the
first impulse, yet the oscillations wcn'
on for several moments. After the famous
Calabrian earthquake the country did moi
come completely to rest for ten years. The
rule, nevertheless is that shocks do not las
long and that they diminish in intensity from
the commencemeuts.

WILLIS ADAMS TRIAL.

KAUFMAN, June 25.-Special yesterday
stated in the Herald that this celebrated
case went to trial. The state examined
all the witnesses, by 4 o'clock when the
defense commenced ON theirs The wit
nesses being placed under the rule were
all day setting astride the fences sur
rounding the court house. A petition
from some 40 witnesses TO Judge Rainey
asking him TO hold night sessions was
quickly signed and sent to him. Owing
TO lack of lights he could not grant 1t but
held his session until o'clock in the
evening. Court adjourned at this hour
yesterday until s this morning, with the
defense witness on the stand. Yester-
during the trial a young man who was
standing on the steps in the court house
lost his balance and fell head long, a
distance of some twelve feet, but was
caught by Mr. Tucker, of Dallas, who
seeing him falling, caught him in his
arms preventing him from striking the
floor with injury. Several witnesses
from Dallas by attachment this morn
ing.
At noon the defense rested and after
dinner, District Attorney Lee Sproug
spoke for the prosecution, and at this
time, two o'clock, Col. w. l.. Crawford
is speaking FOR the defense. Tho case
will very likely be given to the jury this
evening.

Capt. CASTOR, Sidney Smith and

Explain.

There is a question going about
like this: Why did Judge Harrington
resign tho Office of the Assistant Post
master? When reporter asked this
question this morning he was referred
to Postoflice inspector Hollingsworth
at Austin. Judge Harrington re-
signed that is certain and started the
Confederate Home Drawing. The
sympathy of the people was aroused
at once. Capt. CASTOR, Sidney Smith
and w. L. Hall became associated with
Mr.. Harrington in the grand scheme
and the ladies of Dallas became inter-
ested in getting up concert for the
benefit of the enterprise by which the
Confederate Home at Austin would
receive much aid. The newspapers
aided in their support. Agents were
secured throughout the State and tick
ets.were sold. The plan ofselling tickets
at $500 giving the holder Louisiana
lottery ticket in connection with
ticket of the Confederate Home
drawing was one plan. Some parties
who made such purchases received
tickets-that is, in part. For instance
County Collector Gillespie purchased
two tickets and paid 81. Each ticket
called for a lottery ticket. Mr. GILES
pie received one lottery ticket and
third ticket in the Confederate Home
drawing. In other words, Mr.. Har-
rington received 81 and paid out 81,
except the soap Mr.. Gillespie received.
Mr.. Witwer purchased one ticket

DALLAS TEXAS. FRIDAY. JUNE a. 1881 IN

These statements are all based upon
such information as can be gathered, at
fountain head is not disposed to give
such information as will satisfy the
people. There is clamor for some
statement, and the people who have
given their money TO aid a great and
good cause out OF sympathy deserve
fair treatment, and the HERALD calls
upon Capt. CASTOR, Sidney Smith and
W. l.. Hall, whose names have been
connected with tho matter, to have
statement made to the public.
If it is a failure for the want of man.
agement and with no intent to do
wrong, Judge Harrington and those
connected with it should receive th~
benefit of the misfortune; if a sys-
tematic scheme to rob the people,
then it should be exposed and the per-
petrators condemned.

which called for a Louisiana lott
ticket, bat he received no such lottery
ticket.
B. S. Robinson bought threr for Sc,
aud got no lottery ticket.
We have referred to these three gen.
tlemen as samples. There are a large
number in similar condition.
Among the larger prizes was a
buggy, Studebaker wagon and two
sewing machines. IL is currently re-
ported that Judge Harrington drew
the buggy. The buggy came direct
from the Enterprise Company, of St.
Louis, as a gift to the Confederate
Home drawing. NJ. Witwer's house
donated a Studebaker wagon. No
one as yet has called for
the wagon and Mr.. Witwer
does dot feel disposed TO give the
wagon up until there is complete
report of the drawing. The sewing
machine agents will follow in the
wake of Mr.. Witwcr.
In the absence of a committee to
witness the distribution of the prizes,
Mr.. Harrington says he submitted his
plan to Secretary Sidney Smith who
approved it, and he made the distri-
button.
Ii is intimated that the Louisiana
lottery tickets were not distributed
until after the drawing of the Louisa
ma lottery and the printed list secur-
ed. The matter has rested so far up
on the statement ofJudge Harrington
that he would make full report with
in three weeks. Why it should take
such length of time after the draw
ing is MT understood by the man up
tree. There is no way to find out
the number of tickets sold except
through Judge Harrington, but near
ly 1000 can be accounted for outside
of the sale of tickets fer the concert,
nearly zoo more The principle prizes
were donated. The soap, vinegar,
pickles, etc, cost but a small
amount of money. The concert owes
tho Dallas News $500; Henry Freese
$3.50; Opera House $40; other indebt-
edness that may amount 10 $500. To-
tai, say $1,000.
The following telegram shows that
no money has been sent to the Con-
federate Home by Judge Harrington:

patch OF to-day to hand. and in reply
will say Confederate Home has re-
ceived no money from Dallas Concert

ofthe concern, ifanything.
